We are hiring a Frontend JavaScript Developer to join the Megalytic software engineering team. Megalytic is an innovative SaaS product providing data visualization, integration, dashboarding, report building, and report distribution for digital marketing professionals.
As a JavaScript Engineer, you will be a major contributor to the front-end programming for the Megalytic. You’ll work directly with the company co-founders to get us to the “next level” and implement a major upgrade of our successful product. You will implement new features from scratch, as well as improve the existing codebase.
Much of our existing frontend code was implemented using pure JavaScript plus libraries such as jQuery, D3, Bootstrap, Firebase, TinyMCE, and PhantomJS for specific tasks. So it’s important that you have a comprehensive hands-on knowledge of JavaScript and the DOM. New features are being implemented using React and, as time permits, we are also migrating our existing codebase to React.
We are a geographically distributed team. That means you will work remotely and communicate with us on a daily basis using Skype and other collaborative technologies. This job definitely offers the shortest commute you will ever have to make!
You will be responsible to:
Design and implement all aspects of the UI.
Maintain and improve the existing front-end code.
Work with the CEO to design solutions to the data visualization and reporting challenges that our customers need us to solve.
Work with the VP of Engineering to implement robust and scalable technology solutions that integrate with our full product stack.
Translate sketches / wireframes into working prototypes and then to production-ready code.
